Commenting on the news that the UK Government and Celsa Steel UK have agreed an emergency loan, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Economy, Business and Infrastructure, Russell George MS, said:
“The UK Government’s Covid Job Retention Scheme has already helped to protect more than 300,000 jobs in Wales and this action will safeguard a further 800 highly skilled jobs in South Wales. The support will also help a vitally important company within the Welsh economy, as well as showing the UK Government’s commitment to the Welsh steel industry.”
